ACT 2 "You're... me?" "That's right, stardust!"

You know I've been drawing Loop as their Siffrin form so much that it's got me thinking. I've read and seen so many fics and artworks of Loop eventually getting back to looking like their old self, but I don't think I've seen any so far of Loop already being a mirror copy of Siffrin. So uh, yoink?

ISAT AU where the game plays out the same way (plot-wise at least) but Loop looks like Siffrin the whole time and while Siffrin is extremely perplexed that there's another him, he's still gotta accept their help because how else are they supposed to escape the loops? Good ol' Loop is here to help, helpful friendly Loop!

Siffrin is going through it still but Differently.

this just in: danny fenton is just as much of a mask as Brucie Wayne? - another danyal al ghul au

Turns out, being placed in a civilian family who have no knowledge of your background is actually detrimental to the health and development of a child assassin due to lack of proper support! Surrounded by strangers in a foreign city, Danyal Al Ghul does as assassins do best. He hides. Espionage is one of many teachings one learns in the League, and it only takes half a day for Danyal to construct a new persona to hide behind: Daniel Fenton.

By the time dinner rolls around, Danyal al Ghul is safely and securely tucked behind the face of Danny Fenton; brand new adoptive child of the Fenton family who came from overseas. A shy, quiet little boy with a thick accent and curly hair, with brown skin and blue eyes, and an avid interest in the stars. The best fictions are always cobbled together in a little bit of truth, it's some of the only truth he ever lets through. He apologizes in a meek voice for his behavior early, he didn't mean to be rude, and he watches the three of them eat it up with coos.

Lies roll like silk against his lips, he struggles to meet their eyes and offers them his weakest, shyest smile. It's too easy. It's easy to go from there.

Danny Fenton, adoptive son, shy and awkward and unconfident but friendly. Who struggles in his classes and isn't the brightest, but tries his hardest. He makes bad jokes and has a quick tongue and a sarcastic mouth. He wants to be an astronaut. He's got the best aim in school, and is a terrifying dodgeball player. He's one of the least athletic kids in his grade.

It's like playing two truths and a lie, but there's only one truth, and the rest are lies. It's easy to pretend when he knows it's insincere.

Danyal Al Ghul, grandson to the Demon Head. Deadly, trained assassin. Has spilled blood, has had blood spilt from. Environmentalist, animal activist. He loves the stars. He owns a calligraphy set. A sharp tongue, an even sharper blade. He's clever, quick-witted, he would be top of his grade if he tried harder. He purposely doesn't.

He misses his family. He misses his mother, and he misses his brother. Mother visits a few times a year, so few times that he can count it on both hands. He cherishes every visit, as brief as they are. It helps remind him who he is.

Sam and Tucker are Danny's best friends. They've never met Danyal, but Danyal's met them.

It becomes routine to become Danny Fenton. As familiar and as easy as pulling on a shirt in the morning. Danyal wakes up and is always first to the bathroom in the mornings; stares at himself in the mirror until he can finally see Danny staring back at him. At night, he locks his door and sheds the mask.

Dying throws a wrench in his mask; splits a crack straight through the porcelain. He's able to smooth it over with sandpaper and liquid gold, but it's a little hard keeping his ghost form under wraps. It instinctively wants to shift to show his true self. Danyal can't have that, he's spent four years as Danny Fenton, he'll spend another four as him as well. Even if the feeling of the hazmat suit in his ghost form feels restrictive, like a too-small shirt suctioned to his skin that needs to be peeled off.

He'll live. Er-- well, you know what he means. It's frustrating however, trying to keep his Danny Fenton mask up even as Phantom - fighting in the air is something he needs to get used to, and the sudden propping of powers throws him off. But he is nothing if not adaptive, and he hates that he needs to slow his own skills down in order to keep pretenses up in front of Sam and Tucker.

The first time Danyal summons a sword when he's alone, is one of the few times Danyal gets to grin instead of Danny. He's fighting Skulker, and from an invisible hilt he draws a katana from thin air. It startles them both. Skulker takes a step back at the smile that spreads across his face.

They're both silent as Danyal examines his new sword.

"Do you know what people like me do to people like you, poacher?" Danyal finally asks him, the accent he began to hide a few months in slipping through. He drops all pretense, dragging the flat end of the blade slow and appreciatively against his palm. It's a good make, and when he cuts it through the air, it slices through like butter. He looks up at Skulker with a smile; "are you ready to find out?"

When Sam and Tucker ask about why Skulker seems so skittish around Danny now, Danny shrugs at them and says with a playful smile; "I don't know, I guess I kicked his butt too hard after our last fight." and he watches as Sam rolls her eyes exasperatedly, and Tucker snickers with his own joke.

By the time he reunites with Damian before their 15th birthday, Danyal is buried beneath so many layers of Danny Fenton that his brother will need a shovel to dig him out. He's not sure what he'll find.

Part 1

[ew-selfish-art]

DP x DC AU: Danny desperately wants to find the explosion guy. Tim is really good at covering his tracks... he didn't account for ghosts.

The explosions make it onto TV as purported terror activity and most people haven't heard of that part of the world much less ever given a second thought to care about it. The only real reason it gets reported on has something to do with the Justice League and... Danny knows too much.

He's been in training for Clockwork's court (which he's suspicious of- feels like kingly duty bullshit- but Danny is playing along out of curiosity for now) and he's learned a lot about how the living and non-living worlds collide. That means learning about CW's usual suspects- one of which just happened to have a ton of bases around the area Danny was seeing on the news.

It didn't take long for Danny to try to piece together that whoever blew up Nanda Parbat was trying to fuck with the League of Shadows, and was doing it successfully. Less green portals in the world the better, same goes for assassins. But it gets Danny thinking... Maybe he can employ similar tactics on the GIW Bases that keep spawning on the edges of Amity Park. It would at least set them back while he and his friends navigated the help line desk to request Justice League intervention. None of them can leave Amity Park, so outreach is going to have to be creative.

So Danny figures he'll just find the guy. Call up some ghosts who were there, or er, came from there and get a profile and track him down. But the ghosts keep saying it was The Detective. Annoying!

Danny goes full conspiracy theory, gets Tucker and Sam involved, and begrudgingly asks Wes Weston his thoughts.

He hadn't expected Wes to garble out a thirty minute presentation (that had 100 more slides left to go before he cut it off) about how Batman totally trained with a cult and so did his kids. Danny kind of rolled his eyes but... hey, new avenue of searching in the Infinite Realms at least.

The ghosts confirm that Bombs is for sure not Batman's MO- But maybe his second kid would know? The second kid was already brought back to life though, so no way to easily reach him... Danny starts to realize that this might be the work of a Robin now. Wasn't the red one known for solving cold cases? (Sam provides this information- its a social faux pas to not know hero gossip at Gotham Galas- everything she's learned is against her will).

It all comes to a head when Danny goes about the hard task of opening a portal for the guy to come through at just the right time, explain the infinite realms so he doesn't panic and then describe what the fuck was going on with the GIW. It takes months, just over a full year, of random (educated guesses) portal generating- Finally, Red Robin drops into the land of the dead.

"So, you're the guy I've got to talk to about explosions right?" Danny enthusiastically asks.

Tim thinks he's died and landed in the after life following 56 hours of being awake and plummeting off the side of a building into a Lazarus pool. Nothing makes sense about the kid in front of him.

"Yeah, I got a guy for munitions." Tim answers cooly.

"How do you feel about secretly sanctioned government operations that violate protected rights?"

"Gotta get rid of 'em some how. Need me to point you in the right direction?" This might as well be happening.

Hiya! For the sake of reference, Rachel is 21 during the events of Heroes of Olympus (set in 2012).

The rules I set myself to for my redesigns were explained in Part 1 where I did The Trio.

Story related ANs Below!

Rachel's role in the story would be very similar to canon, she meets Percy by chance, and he introduces her formally to the world of gods and monsters. Percy does have a crush on her and she entertains the thought of it sometime in the future, but it never goes anywhere.

After the Titan War, their relationship slides comfortably on a sliding scale between partners in crime and little brother/big sister. She has a good head on her shoulders and just seems to know what to do even before becoming the oracle.

In Heroes of Olympus, she's still prominent just separate from Percy and the Argonauts. She's a narrative foil to Octavian and would absolutely destroy this man. She and Clarisse are to CHB what Octavian and Reyna are to The Legion.

Rachel is also the one that sends Thalia, Grover, and Ana Dakkar (daughter of Neptune) to the ancient lands (instead of Reyna) to retrieve the Athena Parthenos.

Eight years later, by the time of Trials of Apollo, she is 29. Clarion Ladies Academy and university (an: unknown) are long since behind her. Without the constraints of her father's expectations, she has fully embraced her identity as The Oracle, living at camp full time and being the third person in charge alongside Nico and Will. She gives out quests (both of the classic demigod variety and sending out satyrs where they're needed) and is generally a kind if honest ear to the campers.

As for Trials of Apollo, I have yet to finish the series (I'm halfway through The Dark Prophecy) so I'll have to come back to this once I do. For now, just know that I want her to have a more prominent role in this series (more than any other) as she has some of the most personal stakes of anyone.

listen listen i have an idea for the winged people au

what if kidou was also a winged person but instead of being able to fly his a hela good swimmer because he has penguin wings.

ooh that's interesting!! I'd like to think that penguin wings and other "unconventional" types aren't more rare than any other type, but just due to there being waaay more usual wings than these, they seem to be really rare - and they're not the kind you usually flaunt around too much.

for Kidou.. what if his wings were deemed "useless" and "unnecessary" and he grew up hiding them with his cape? (since it's a world of soccer and not swimming) and only later (when joining Raimon?) he learned to let them be a part of himself and stop hiding them.

he never learns to be super expressive with them though (also due to him being not too expressive otherwise either), but maybe with a little help of intense emotions every now and then... and maybe he uses his wings to (playfully) smack others when they're being dumb? (and I'm not having the brain currently to figure out if the penguin wings could be used to some aerodynamic effect with soccer, but if that's possible, I think Kidou would figure it out and prove that they're not useless to him after all!)

Go era Kidou is confident and comfortable and open about his wings. since he doesn't need his wings to have the same range of motion as most do, I think he'd prefer coats with storm flaps or cuts imitating that for easy wing fitting, letting his wings move enough but not needing the specific fit for a full-range movement.

oh and yeah I think he enjoys swimming and he's really good at it! I think there could be separate water sports for people with water bird wings (diving birds and such), but even when Kidou likes to swim, it has never been really his passion (and he was pulled into the soccer world before he could really figure out where his interest truly lie).

made sketches for branch and poppy for this trolls au i'm apparently making now

(why does this happen in every fandom i'm in…?)

info written below

branch

- he/they

- lost grandma rosiepuff at 6; clay came back [to the tree] a few months later, but the two were separated while escaping the tree. branch has never recovered.

- became co-leader of the putt-putt trolls as a teen. a bit intense, but well-meaning overall

poppy

- she/her

- was separated from viva and peppy during the escape from the tree, and is unaware of her royal lineage. still, something feels missing…

- became co-leader of the putt-putt trolls as a teen. works to keep hopes up in the community
